Ben's 6th Birthday!

Ben-benino is 6 years old! He was looking forward to his party for so long, it was super cute! The theme, of course, was dinosaurs! He asked us if he could invite some of his friends from kindergarten and he drew the invitations himself, check them out:

I thought they were sooo cute! I think 2 of those are supposed to be velociraptors (his new favourite dinosaur) and he was very specific about which dinosaur was for which child.

I will let the photos tell you the rest of it:

All the Canadian Uncles and Aunties got Ben this awesome bike and the gear for it! There were also lots of cool dinosaurs, a Nerf gun, water gun & another of his favorites: bakugan warriors (or whatever they're called). Also txs Grandma for the nice clothes!

Originally Ben had asked for a repeat of the cake he had for his 4th birthday: a volcano with dinos around it. However, at the very end he changed his mind and asked for a 'flood with the dinos drowning in it'. Chris very graciously made him a mix of both. On the upper left corner you can even see a wave coming in. It was so cute!

Note: All the good photos were taken by Ruth, with her awesome skills and great camera.

We also made these muffins to go with the cake. They were supposed to be dinosaur nests with the eggs in them. (We wanted to buy these little speckled chocolate eggs that would've looked great but they only sell them around Easter.) Ben loved them!

My big, beautiful, birthday Benny-boy!

A highlight of the party was that we started it with a water-balloon fight! Chris & Nico joined in and the kids had a blast!

As soon as the fight was over the weather got a little chilly and we had to take the party inside but it was fun while it lasted.

Even the 'older kids' had fun with the baby toys, heh.
